Lyrics & Translation

[English]

"Under My Skin"

You're not the type of man

To shake my hand like

"Nice to meet ya"

You pull me in

And then begin to let your body say

All is possible

Now I know

Oh uh oh uh oh

The light I dim

It take my limit up a million metres

You're breakin' my chains again

And nothing remains the same

Now I'm hypnotized

I realize

Oh uh oh uh oh

When we touch,

I can feel we've got a chemistry

Can't get enough,

Watch ya when you stand so close to me

I've got you

Under my skin

When we touch,

I can feel we've got a chemistry

Can't get enough,

Watch ya when you stand so close to me

I've got you

Under my skin

It turns me on

When I'm your pupil - you're my teacher teacher

Get in position

That's my mission on the floor tonight

I've been exorcised, sensitized

Oh uh oh uh oh

The way that you perform the clothes

Are torn right off the richter

Shakin' the room again

Untaming the beast within

And if they ask me why

Can't deny

Oh uh oh uh oh

When we touch,

I can feel we've got a chemistry

Can't get enough,

Watch ya when you stand so close to me

I've got you

Under my skin

You set me off,

I can't wait to feel your hands on me

And when we rock

Feels just like the devil's ridin' me

I've got you

Under my skin

Come over here boy

I want you one on one

I made it clear boy

I want to have some fun

I want you

I want you

I've got this feelin'

And it just won't stop

It's gettin' so hot

Come help me take this off

I've got you

I want you

Under my skin

When we touch,

I can feel we've got a chemistry

Can't get enough,

Watch ya when you stand so close to me

I've got you

Under my skin

You set me off,

I can't wait to feel your hands on me

And when we rock

Feels just like the devil's ridin' me

I've got you

Under my skin

Key Grammar Structures

• You're not the type of man To shake my hand like

  ➔ Infinitive of purpose/description after 'type of'

  ➔ The infinitive "to shake" describes the characteristic or typical action of "the type of man." It indicates what kind of man he is (or isn't).

• And then begin to let your body say

  ➔ Causative verb 'let' + object + bare infinitive

  ➔ The verb "let" here means to "allow" or "permit." It is followed by an object ("your body") and then a bare infinitive ("say") without "to."

• Now I'm hypnotized

  ➔ Passive Voice (Present Simple)

  ➔ The structure "I'm hypnotized" (subject + form of "be" + past participle) shows that the subject ("I") is receiving the action of "hypnotize," rather than performing it.

• I can feel we've got a chemistry

  ➔ Verb of perception 'feel' + (that) clause

  ➔ After verbs of perception like "feel," "see," "hear," you can use a "that" clause (often omitted, as here) to describe what is perceived or known.

• I've been exorcised, sensitized

  ➔ Present Perfect Passive

  ➔ This structure (subject + "have been" + past participle) indicates an action that happened in the past but has a result or relevance to the present, and the subject is the recipient of the action.

• The way that you perform the clothes

  ➔ Relative clause with 'the way that'

  ➔ "The way that" introduces a relative clause that describes "the way" or "manner" in which an action is performed. "That" can often be omitted.

• And if they ask me why Can't deny

  ➔ First Conditional (implied main clause)

  ➔ This is an example of the First Conditional, typically "If + Present Simple, will + Bare Infinitive." Here, the main clause "I can't deny" (or "I will not deny") is implied, indicating a probable future result based on a present condition.

• I can't wait to feel your hands on me

  ➔ Fixed expression 'can't wait to' + infinitive

  ➔ The phrase "can't wait to" is a common idiomatic expression used to show eagerness or excitement about something that will happen in the future. It is always followed by an infinitive verb.

• I made it clear boy

  ➔ 'Make it + adjective' structure

  ➔ The structure "make it + adjective" is used to say that you cause something to become clear, easy, possible, etc. It often refers to making a situation or fact understood.

• And it just won't stop

  ➔ 'Won't' for refusal or insistence

  ➔ "Won't" (the negative form of "will") is used here not just for simple future negation, but to express an unwillingness, refusal, or stubborn insistence of something to happen or stop.
